Summary

At the request of Dames & Moore, consultants to Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona, has conducted an archaeological impact study of a proposed railroad in eastern Arizona. The study is designed to characterize the archaeological resources in the project area, providing Dames & Moore with information to evaluate potential impact of the project on the resources. The alignment, designated "D-2", is one of two proposed routes for a coal haul railroad from Coronado Station near St. Johns, Arizona, north to the existing Santa Fe railroad along I-40. The project consists of field and laboratory phases. A five day field reconnaissance of the proposed alignment was conducted from August 19 through August 23, 1975. During this time, sample segments along the proposed alignment were intensively surveyed. The laboratory phase of the project incorporates data collected during the field phase with inforamtion obtained during a similar study conducted by the Museum in June and July, 1975 of the eastern (A-2) alignment of the proposed railroad.
